The Fédération Québécoise des Clubs Quads (FQCQ) is a union of several associations called quad clubs. There are currently more than 100 quad clubs in Quebec.
The FQCQ is a non-profit organization, whose goal and object is the development of quad leisure in Quebec.
The FQCQ offers various services to quad clubs such as: preparing and providing various documents and forms, training trail surveillance agents, negotiating advantageous rates for the purchase of signage, producing a magazine for their members, etc.
The FQCQ has quad clubs as members. The quad clubs are made up of quad riders who hold access rights to the trails.
See https://www.fqcq.qc.ca/en/the-federation-quebecoise-des-clubs-quads-fqcq/ for more details.
A quad club is a non-profit organization, made up of an administrative committee made up of volunteers. A quad club ensures the smooth running of the quad activity on its territory. Its volunteers develop and maintain trails and infrastructure, install signage and organize activities for their members. The quad clubs also include security guards, among their volunteers, whose mandate is to ensure safety on their trails.
The main source of funding for quad clubs is the sale of access rights to users. The revenue from these sales is reinvested in the maintenance of the network, the purchase of signaling, the construction of relays, bridges and footbridges, and others. A quad club is, in a way, a cooperative that quad riders set up to have the privilege of practicing their favorite hobby.
